Sylvester Stallone will be part of The Suicide Squad's massive ensemble cast, writer-director James Gunn has announced. It also marks a reunion for the two, after having worked on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. There's no word on what character Stallone will be playing, but given the fact that filming on The Suicide Squad wrapped up prior to COVID-19 lockdowns in February, there seems to be just one possibility that is being rumoured: Stallone is voicing a character that doesn't have a human face, such as King Shark. But that's unconfirmed and for now, his role is simply undisclosed.
